MICROBIAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF METALS AND METALLOIDS
{"Image DocumentName": "MICROBIAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF METALS AND METALLOIDS", "Image ImageDescription": "Some bacteria, including Ferrobacillus, Gallionella, and some forms of. Sphaerotilus utilize iron compounds in obtaining energy for their metabolic needs. These bacteria catalyze the oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III) by molecular oxygen: 4Fe(II) + 4H+ + O2 \uf0e0 4Fe(III) + 2H2O. The carbon source for some of these bacteria is CO2. Since they do not require organic matter for carbon, and because they derive energy from the oxidation of inorganic matter, these bacteria may thrive in environments where organic matter is absent. Alcuni batteri, tra cui Ferrobacillus, Gallionella, e alcune forme di Sphaerotilus utilizzano composti di ferro per ottenere energia per le necessit\u00e0 metaboliche. Questi batteri catalizzano l ossidazione del ferro (II) a ferro (III) mediante ossigeno molecolare:\u2026. La fonte di carbonio per alcuni di questi batteri \u00e8 CO2. Poich\u00e9 non richiedono materia organica per carbonio, e poich\u00e9 derivano energia dalla ossidazione di materia inorganica, questi batteri possono prosperare in ambienti dove la materia organica \u00e8 assente.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
